Class 3 had a wonderful afternoon in the woods learning all about invertebrates and their importance. We all enjoyed a mindfulness activity, lying on the forest floor and looking at the trees and sky above. We went on a minibeast hunt and discussed habitats and the importance of looking after our world.
The children had a very informative lesson with Bob this week. They learnt all about first aid and even had a good at resuscitation and placing people in the recovery position. They also produced some fantastic posters using all their newly gained know.
Class 3 have been working on their translation skills by studying a version of Jacques et le Haricot Magique. We had great fun ready the story and then spent our golden time drawing the key characters and props. We then used French dictionaries to label these.
The sun was shining when Class 3 visited Tristrams for the school rounders event. All the children had a fantastic afternoon playing in two teams, encouraging and supporting each other. We came away with a 2nd and 3rd in our groups. Thank you very much to Dallam School for organising and hosting.
Following our fantastic workshop learning all about internet safety the final badge designed arrived in school. A grand reveal created great excitement as the children discovered which designs had been chosen for the badges. Thanks again Screen Savvy Kidz. www.facebook.com/screensavvykidz
Here are the brilliant badges!
A huge well done to all of our Y2/3/4 pupils who performed their dance ‘The Epic Adventure’ on stage at the Brewery Arts annual dance platform event on Tuesday. The children have been working so hard on their performance and have been participating in Miss Heaton’s weekly dance club, supported by Ashleigh from the Brewery Arts dance team. The children thoroughly enjoyed their time on the stage and are already looking forward to taking part next year!
For our design and technology topic this term we have been looking at toy cars. We began the topic by making three prototypes in groups and had great fun testing these out. We then thought about different materials and how durable they are alongside their environmental impact. The children then made their own car and calculated the cost of the components and produced an exploding diagram. We all had a brilliant time making them and also developed our skills and knowledge.
Class 3 have continued their topic of betrayal and trust in the Easter story. The children looked at the key events in the Easter story and discussed whether they showed trust or betrayal and explained how. we then thought about why Judas betrayed Jesus and tried to come up with 30 reasons for this to match the 30 pieces of silver. Finally, we interviewed children in the role of Judas asking questions about his actions and feelings towards Jesus.
What an afternoon of amazing resilience, determination and endless energy! The Levens’ running reputation lives on with today’s incredible athletes pushing themselves to the finish line. Not only did every runner complete their best ever run, they also cheered on the side lines supporting their team mates every step of the way. It was wonderful to have such great support from parents and wider family members too!
We have returned with four medals: a gold in the year 5 girls race; a silver in the year 4 boys; a bronze in the year 6 boys and the year 6 girls too!
We are yet to hear our overall placing as a team, but couldn’t be more overjoyed with such enthusiasm, effort and endurance from everyone!
Class 3 had a fantastic morning learning all about screen time and how to stay safe online. The children thought about how long they should spend online, what they do online and how to stay safe online. They had a wonderful time with lots of interesting discussions and debates. The morning also included designing our own badges with key messages about screen time. Don’t they look fantastic! Thank you to www.facebook.com/screensavvykidz
